Introduction: Assessment of body composition is an important way that reveal valuable information about the health status of individuals. To evaluate the effectiveness of the methods, the body compositions of young male and female students were compa ratively evaluated using the bioelectrical impedance method (BIA), body mass index (BMI), and waist-hip ratio (WHR). Materials and Methods: A total of 226 (n= 112 males and n= 114 females) young students participated in this study. Body composition analyses were performed using BIA, BMI, and WHR. Results: Considering the whole data, a statistically significant correlation between BMI and BIA was observed. However, there is a difference in risk groups with low and normal values that may result in the differences between the cut-off points determined by ethnicity and gender. Conclusion: In general, although anthropometric measurements have provided meaningful results for population evaluation, technological evaluations should be taken into account in measurements in decision-making situations related to the health status of individuals. |
